No Fee Until We Win
One of the firm’s core principles is that access to justice should not depend on a person’s financial situation. Phillips, Cymerman and Trager operates on a contingency fee basis, meaning that clients pay absolutely no attorney fees unless the firm successfully recovers money on their behalf. This "No Win, No Fee" promise allows injury victims to hire top-tier legal talent without any upfront costs or financial risk. It aligns the firm’s interests directly with those of the client-they are motivated to maximize the settlement or verdict in every single case. Whether through skillful negotiation at the settlement table or aggressive litigation in the courtroom, they are relentless in their pursuit of the best possible outcome.
